This super easy to make Texas style southwestern chicken recipe is one of those really versatile recipes that makes dinner so easy.

You can make this as a dump and go crock pot recipe as you dash out the door during the day, or you can bake it in the oven too.

I also like that you can turn this into a freezer meal and dump it straight into your crockpot to cook!

With just a few ingredients, it is a budget friendly meal that does not taste budget!Just serve it with some rice on the side and dinner is ready!I swap out Chicken thighs for breasts sometimes too!Not a fan of black beans? Just grab some pinto beans instead!

Serve the chicken whole.. or, my familes fav.. dice/shred up the cooked chicken and mix it back into the pan. Serve it over cooked rice as a Tex Mex Bowl. SO GOOD!
